Whisper Notes: Mac dictation tutorial and settings

The video is in German; this English overview is based on its full German captions.

Whisper Notes is the focus of this Mac dictation walkthrough. The presenter opens a text editor, records a short German passage with the Fn key and shows the resulting transcript after a brief wait. The supplied description says transcription runs locally, offline and without a cloud connection; the demonstration does not independently verify those claims.

Inside the app, the presenter shows a quick dictation section described as part of a recent update, alongside recordings and imported audio such as MP3 files. Transcript controls include copying text, adding timestamps and transcribing again. Users can also share or delete the audio and play it back to check the wording.

The settings walkthrough explains how to enable Fn dictation: hold the key to record, then release it to start transcription. A global keyboard shortcut is another option. The presenter reviews launch at login, menu bar access, hiding the Dock icon and automatic language selection. Whisper Notes has fast and accurate transcription modes; he chooses accurate on his M4 Mac, though the video provides no benchmark or minimum hardware requirement.

The final settings cover automatic clipboard copying, access to stored files for backup and timed deletion. An audio cleanup option keeps the transcript text. The presenter also reports using the app on iPhone and iPad, but this tutorial demonstrates the Mac workflow.
